"Bound Forever" by Cassius Rex

Karnaxor. An unapologetic heavy metal, dark fantasy world. Five witches united- conquered the world and slew millions, ending the age of kings. The last king left, Barbadus devises a dangerous plan to save the world, placing his only son in the Witch Queen’s empire as an infant slave in a society where men are thralls to matriarchal rule.

Cael is that boy - a carpenter as a child before being sold to the gladiator pits to die in the arena. His journey is spiritual, mental, and physical as he fights for men to be free.

"Bound Forever" by Cassius Rex is a "heavy metal" themed adult dark fantasy / epic fantasy featuring mature themes, graphic violence, brutality, and dark subject matter.

 


About the Author

From Cassius Rex: "I have been a storyteller and writer for 30 years. I wrote my first book at 13, took me a year. 100 pages. I've been writing since and making stories, believing in immersion and roleplaying being important in a writer's tools for world building, not just spreadsheets and dense prose."

"Forsaken Queen" by Jeanne Cameron

She was never meant to be queen. Now everyone wants to control her.

Aly Gethen is a mercenary with a talent for survival - and a habit of making impulsive decisions.

Like saving a stranger in an alley.

That stranger turns out to be a revolutionary general.

And Aly? She’s something far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

A Sun Bringer. A wielder of legendary power. The lost queen of a conquered kingdom.

Now she’s caught in a deadly game of politics, power, and war—where allies lie, enemies manipulate, and every truth comes with a cost.

The only person she might trust is Rhaef Laurent. A man who could either protect her - or ruin her.

Because in a world where power decides everything, Aly has one fatal weakness:

She refuses to be controlled.

But if she doesn’t play their game?

They’ll destroy everything - and everyone - she loves.

"Forsaken Queen" is a spellbinding romantasy filled with danger, slow-burn passion, and the spark of revolution. 


About the Author

Jeanne Cameron writes romantic fantasy with teeth - where power is dangerous, politics are ruthless, and love can change everything…for better or worse.

Her stories center on strong, capable women navigating impossible choices, slow-burn relationships, and worlds that would rather control them than see them rise.

She believes the best stories hurt a little before they heal, and that a hard-earned happy ending is always worth the fight.

Jeanne lives in northeast Ohio in a very old house with a very neurotic dog, and is the author of The Forsaken War series.

"Forged Slumber" by Gerard Stahl

What if the person you were meant to love existed in a world you were never supposed to find?

Bennett Tiggs has always believed in heroes.

But when a strange dream leaves him haunted by a word he cannot explain—Renderis—his ordinary life in the coastal town of Cobalt Cove begins to unravel.

A mysterious connection to his hospitalized friend Addie draws Bennett toward secrets surrounding an ancient magic known as the Veil, the boundary between the living world and something far darker. Soon, Bennett finds himself pulled into Renderis a twisted reflection of his hometown, where lost souls wander, memories can be manipulated, and nothing is quite what it seems.

There, Bennett discovers that he is not alone.

Five friends. Five mysterious roles.

The Sacrifice.

The Destined.

The Keeper.

The Vessel.

The Beacon.

As the boundaries between dreams, memories, and reality begin to collapse, Bennett finds himself drawn closer to Nate in a way neither of them can explain. What begins as an impossible connection becomes something deeper—a love that exists beyond the physical world and threatens to change everything Bennett thought he understood about his own life.

But someone created this connection.

Someone has been manipulating the story.

And the magic growing inside Bennett may be the key to either saving those he loves—or destroying them.

When the truth about Renderis finally emerges, Bennett must confront the person behind it all and decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for the people who have become his family—and for a love that was never supposed to exist.

Enter Renderis.

Where dreams have consequences, souls remember what the living forget, and love may be the most powerful magic of all.

"Forged Slumber" is Book One of the Tides of Renderis trilogy, a fantasy romance of magic, mystery, found family, impossible love, and the dangerous space between life and death.
